Al-Dhafeer


Al-Dhafeer is an ancient Arabian tribe, that goes back to Tayy. It used to control the entirety of Najid from around 1300 to 1590. They were known as warriors of the Arabian region 700 years ago, united and always together despite their huge numbers. Starting in the 1300s Aldhafeer resided around Almadina, close to Mecca.
